Could anyone recommend footpockets for EEE wide feet. I'm looking at the C-4 but have heard they are narrow.

What length size? I agree with eddiebrs that Mares is usually the choice for wide feet. But, these are the widest I've ever tried on . . . http://spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=125520 Please let me know if your're interested. Thanks.

Petros you should sponsor me now as your Far East representative for Pathos and Bluetec!!!

Anyways I went out for a quick dive using my Leader Carbon fins in medium stiffness, compared to the Bleutec's, surfaced swimming sucked with these, it's like swimming in Jetfins. I didn't have my D4 with me but I think I was hitting around 50-60 feet, coming from that depth with the Leaderfins I could definitely tell that I had to work more to get to the bottom and utilized more energy and kicks due to the blades being very stiff feeling and not working and flexing as the Bleutec's did, however the Picasso pockets was comfortable. So with the Leaderfins compared to the Bleutec's, the Bleutec's completely and utterly blow the Leaderfins out of the water!!!

Thanks for the excellent review. I have a question re my Anax xxone carbon fins with Pathos pocket. The rubber sides on the fins keep coming off , is it really necessary to have them on? And if so what glue is the best to keep them on. One reason that they might start to come loose is when I use my buoy line and the line catch the corner at the foot pocket end

I recently received my new Moana Euro in Soft flex and finally got to try them out yesterday. I have to say I am very impressed with these fins.

My legs were still a little sore from working out so that may have played a small role but that happens to me a good bit. I dove around in these doing some drops to 82 - 85' or so very comfortably. Shot a nice king mackerel, chased it down, then switched back to the medium DiveR.

My legs had gotten used to the effortless kick of the euro soft and the medium long blades then seemed very hard on my legs.

I still need to test them out quite a bit against the DiveR's but I really enjoyed using them. I didn't realize a "loss" of power and just changed my kick a little for the shorter blade.

do you think that getting the hybrids instead of the euros would have been better coming from DiveR's?

I jave moanas in pathos. Great fins. Im able to reach surface from 60ft in 4-3 kicks. Dolpin kicking in these are vital too. Being honest. I have hybrid soft. Even the hybrid softs feel kinda stiff. Perfect for diving semi deep. Im trying to get harder fins but my weightsuit is too buoyant with 20 lbs of weight. Once i reach 30 feet i start sinking. Im nuetral at 22 ft. Id need a 3mat suit and harder fins with less wieght.

intrigued by Cetma's little Dynami-Techs - a 20cm shorter fin would be cool if performance drop isnt too dramatic. Has anyone got any feedback going to Dynami's from long carbon blades in conventional footpockets?

dive r is the only premium brand I have not seen break. lots of broken moanas and deep apneas - literally - I have seen a few broken blades from each of those. Has anyone ever broken a dive r? I'm sure someone has but I never saw it and considering how many broken blades I have seen - it's something.

My moana hybrid blade snapped while spearfishing in Greece. I am still on vacation here and decided that I may purchase some fins as they are cheaper here. I am currently considering bleutec, meister, or alchemy fins. Wondering how they compare to gen 1 moana hybrids? I am from Massachusetts and want a fin that can push me through rough currents. The moana hybrid fins were very powerful but for a soft blade they were a bit stiff for my kicking style.

I am 205 and they do fine. They aren't super soft compared to the pathos blades. But they are softer than the Moanas. I dive deep in them confidently. But if you are worried then go with the next stiffer model.
